About me.

A one-man set built around whatever room, or street, I'm in.

Bio

Handpan, guitar, and whatever else is in the case.

I'm a Malta-based musician working across handpan, guitar, and a small collection of hand percussion — darbuka, cajón, chimes. Most sets are solo and mostly improvised: what I play depends on the street, the light, and who's stopped to listen.

I perform both indoors and out — from Valletta's back streets at golden hour to private events and small stages around the islands. The handpan is the instrument I'm known for, and the one built into this site: every field on it is tuned and playable.

No two sets are quite the same. Some evenings it's just guitar on a quiet corner; others it's a full spread of handpan, drums, and an oud leaned up against a wall, waiting its turn.
